Deuteronomy 5:18-25 English Standard Version (ESV)

18. “‘And you shall not commit adultery.

19. “‘And you shall not steal.

20. “‘And you shall not bear false witness against your neighbor.

21. “‘And you shall not covet your neighbor’s wife. And you shall not desire your neighbor’s house, his field, or his male servant, or his female servant, his ox, or his donkey, or anything that is your neighbor’s.’

22. “These words the Lord spoke to all your assembly at the mountain out of the midst of the fire, the cloud, and the thick darkness, with a loud voice; and he added no more. And he wrote them on two tablets of stone and gave them to me.

23. And as soon as you heard the voice out of the midst of the darkness, while the mountain was burning with fire, you came near to me, all the heads of your tribes, and your elders.

24. And you said, ‘Behold, the Lord our God has shown us his glory and greatness, and we have heard his voice out of the midst of the fire. This day we have seen God speak with man, and man still live.

25. Now therefore why should we die? For this great fire will consume us. If we hear the voice of the Lord our God any more, we shall die.
